Dinah, 2007
There are two sides to the work I produce. I’m certainly interested in the idea of spontaneity and whether any art claiming to be spontaneous is truly so.
As such, all of my current work contains spontaneous elements; these are more prominent in my drawings and layered over with delicate veils of paint in my paintings.
It’s often as if I let myself go completely for a few seconds, scribbling away, and then return to correct the ‘damage’. I never completely cover up these odd expressions of emotion; just delicately shroud them under shimmering layers of varnish-rich oil paint.
Conversations and thoughts flowing through my head whilst painting are also translated to canvas in a series of accentuated, disjointed and abstract letters.
A great quote from Richard Iannelli completely illustrates why I randomly scribble on my work the way I do.
“Spontaneity is the quality of being able to do something just because you feel like it at the moment.”
The spontaneous element is one aspect of the work; the bigger picture concerns a pre-occupation with the sky and cloud formations, especially at dawn and dusk.
I work at expressing the feelings I experience whilst out there in the elements, simultaneously keeping a slight figurative element to the works.
My use of colour is instinctive, often impulsive and references my constantly changing digital and photographic source material. I choose colours often because they feel right and provoke either a sense of calm or chaos in the viewer.
